I have checked for spark and I do have it. Fuel pressure at valve is 35. relay has been replaced. I can hear both pumps running. It has been down almost two months. It does not have an inertia switch po bybassed it. Wiring harness is all rigged up. Cant figure this out. Tryed pulling codes with test light and nothing shows up. Any Ideas I am about ready to junk this bad boy and call it a loss.

It was caused by going over a rut at a high speed. I saw a bk/g wire disconnected. reconnected the wire and she fired right up. Drove her around for a while. Went to start her again and nothing which is where I am at today. :icon_confused:

Any info would be appreciated

any power to the injectors? Back in my GM days there were fuses for injectors, that was probably 75 percent of no starts,I really haven't gone into fuel delivery on Ford FI systems , but if you have fuel pressure and spark , that's what I would look for
 
Unfortunately I have not checked injector since I do not have the tool to check them. Forgive me I am new to working on my own vehicle but what is the spout. If I could acquire something to test injectors what would be the best way to check them. Would I need to remove fuel rail and whatnot? Thank you so far for the advice. I am in the process of changing fuel filters but I don't know if the canister has filter or not? I have read conflicting opinions on the subject. Thanks for any advice

Spout to TFI Module.

The spout wire is the terminal that plugs into the TFI module or distributor module. You can do, a spark test from it. Make sure, your TFI is good.
 
I had the tfi tested it was good. What else can cause a weak spark. I have noticed the spark is not blue as it should be. It is blue at the coil just not at the plugs. :annoyed:

If it's getting good spark off the coil, but not a plug, it's either going to be distcap/rotor, wires, or poor ground. 194 bulb, bend out the leads and put it into an injector plug to check for injector pulse.
